Bug description:
I tryed to compile QEMU 0.12.0-rc1 with KVM support without success.
Here my configuration:
uname -a
Linux bla 2.6.28-11-server #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 02:45:36 UTC 2009 x86_64
GNU/Linux
dpkg -l | grep kvm
ii kvm 1:84+dfsg-0ubuntu11
This KVM modul works fine.
I've installed this packets:
sudo apt-get install make wget zlib1g-dev libsdl-gfx1.2-dev
sudo apt-get install gcc libsdl1.2-dev zlib1g-dev libasound2-dev
linux-kernel-headers-`uname-r` pkg-config libgnutls-dev libpci-dev
The compiling of QEMU 0.12.0-rc1 wihout KVM support was OK.
./configure --enable-kvm
#error Missing KVM capability KVM_CAP_DESTROY_MEMORY_REGION_WORKS
NOTE: To enable KVM support, update your kernel to 2.6.29+ or install
recent kvm-kmod from http://sourceforge.net/projects/kvm.
ERROR
ERROR: User requested feature kvm
ERROR: configure was not able to find it
ERROR
I can't change the kernel because Ubuntu 9.10 are too buggy.
So I tryed to install the latest kvm modul.
wget \
http://sourceforge.net/projects/kvm/files/kvm-kmod/2.6.32/kvm-kmod-2.6.32.tar.bz2/download
tar xjvf kvm-kmod-2.6.32.tar.bz2
cd kvm-kmod-2.6.32
./configure && make
sudo make install
sudo rmmod kvm_intel kvm_adm kvm
sudo make install
sudo rmmod kvm_intel kvm
sudo modprobe kvm_intel
dmesg | grep kvm
[81811.678377] loaded kvm module (kvm-kmod-2.6.32)
I tryed to compile QEMU with kvm support but I got the same error.
./configure --enable-kvm
#error Missing KVM capability KVM_CAP_DESTROY_MEMORY_REGION_WORKS
NOTE: To enable KVM support, update your kernel to 2.6.29+ or install
recent kvm-kmod from http://sourceforge.net/projects/kvm.

What is wrong?
